[Highlight] Jaden McDaniels yams it over Jokic and Spencer Jones
HE SAID WHAT HE SAID
If I had a nickel for every quote involving Jaden McDaniels that people got mad at just for it to be proven right during the first round of the playoffs after id have 2 nickels
which isnt a lot but its weird it happened twice
They’re all bad defenders
Seeing this clip I dont understand why they dont drive on Jokic every single time. His vertical is non existent, he got absolutely nowhere near McDaniels’ hand. And it’s not like they have any other player who can help out (Gordon WAS that guy two years ago).
You have McDaniels and ANT on your team, you should cheese it like someone using prime Giannis in 2k - just drive on every single possession, there is fuck all they can do against it.
They tried to pretty much every possession. They even commentated on the broadcast that it seemed like when Jokic left the floor, their offense got worse because they didn’t have an easy plan for how to get points that wasn’t just driving at Jokic.
Funny enough ANT was actually the one who seemed to consistently settle for contested 3’s when there was no need to instead of driving the paint. Coulda been just ANT things or maybe his leg was hurting the whole night and he wanted his points without having to drive hard and put pressure on his leg idk.
As great an athlete as Ant is he does settle for jumpers a bit too much I think
And he is dealing with knee issues
jokic’s contest on that dunk looked like me trying to block my nephew’s shot at thanksgiving. both arms at his side, soul already departed
What’s the first one?
“They got KD we got Jaden McDaniels” - Ant
I didn’t realize that pissed people off lol
Unironically better off with Jaden McDaniels than KD rn
And then, the Wolves swept those Suns.
MCDANIELS JUST EMPTIED THEIR BENCH
Jaden was 100% right too. Denver can’t stop anyone on defense. And if they can’t have Jokic and Murray’s offense either, it’s GG
Jokic shooting 7-26 and still scoring 35 because of free throws. Bro is in Minnesota jail
Jaden doesn’t play for views or clicks. The guys doesn’t want any of that. He was just speaking the truth.
Some folks really think Jaden said that because he cares about clout or being the main character when he could not give less of a fuck about that, it’s just him speaking his thoughts
They asked him earlier about his response to Adelman’s “I look forward to his podcast” comment and Jaden actually looked confused. Like, he took a beat and was like “yo, I don’t have a podcast…can I say that?” and he ended up saying something like “Podcast? I don’t know what that’s about.” and basically ended the question.
With a ton of other players, it would seem like he’s dodging it, but Jaden was seriously like…“he must have me confused with someone else; I don’t have a podcast…I wonder who he’s thinking about?”
For the podcast
MPJ gotta invite Jaden onto his podcast
MPJ was scapegoated for Nuggets bad defense
He was also sort of the problem lol
…but we got Jaden McDaniels
We got Jaden McDaggers
he genuinely outplayed jokic in this game lololol
Jokic got outplayed by like 6 different players tonight
He’s making Gobert look better than we did last year
Zeke Nnaji, Joe Ingles, and Jalen Pickett included
Ant really tried to warn us
Talk your shit and just run through all of them
You guys are 100% my bandwagon team this year, I just love this kind of basketball so much
Brother, as a December ‘91 baby, no one…and I mean absolutely NO ONE would ever accuse someone cheering for a Minnesota sports team of being “bandwagon”
I’m 34 with a 9 and 10 year old and I haven’t seen a single sports team in the WS/Super Bowl/Finals/[whatever the NHL final round is called] let alone win a title.
Fr, bros on the poverty train now 😂
the bite the bullet train
C’mon man, you gotta remember the Stanley Cup even if only because it’s a cool name
i has the dum
In my defense I was drinking for every missed nuggets shot tonight.
Lynx have won championships on the court that the Wolves just walked off :)
championship (singular) :) I love the lynx as much as the next guy - I was in attendance in 2017 g5 (NOT ON THE SAME COURT)
we won ONE in Target Center, one at the U, and two in Georgia
I mean regardless of past success, rooting for a team just for the duration of the playoffs because your main team didn’t make it (or doesn’t exist anymore 🪦) is pretty much the definition of bandwagoning.
Doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing in this scenario, especially since Wolves are ‘dogs in this series and probably throughout the playoffs if they advance.
Personally I’m on the Blazers and Hawks bandwagons right now, however slim the chances of either team advancing are (Hawks probably have a better shot than the Blazers).
I don’t really consider it bandwagoning because no one is identifying as fans of those teams, they’re just picking teams to root for in a single playoff run as a neutral. To me, bandwagoners actually join a teams fandom during peak success. It’s a subtle but important distinction
Lol are you me?? Also born in December of 91. I chose teams as a kid based on players I liked (Sammy Sosa, Priest Holmes and KG), I’ve been blessed with the cubs and chiefs both winning in the last decade but the 15+ years prior to that were BRUTAL.
If the lakers don’t go all the way, the Timberwolves winning a championship wouldn’t even bother me.
Thanks?
We are an easy team to root for. We’re just kind of a band of gym rats that play ball. The only guy that people can hate on is Rudy and that’s because he’s a Frenchman. Lol
Jaden is from the Seattle area after all.
The Wolves might the most entertaining team character-wise. Ant and Jaden are already comedy. Naz talks shit. Randle always has a chip on shoulder. Same with Donte. Too bad the Knicks are flailing and OKC exists because a Wolves-Knicks Finals would be fun.
Terrible defenders
Yeah we may be terrible on defense but we’re also terrible on offense. Take that!
Brutal honesty from your side
Trust me I’ve come to terms with it
This team fucking smells man
Don’t count yourself out yet. We know that with these two teams, both are prone to blowing series/game leads. Remember, we were up 2-0 looking completely dominant last time and you guys were 5 minutes of basketball away from beating us. Ggs
i wish i had your optimism
This series might depend on AG being back tbh.
“They called you bad defenders, let’s show them we can do it on both sides of the floor”
Adelman at halftime “No not like that”
Adelman is part of the problem.
As a coach, your team coming out sluggish and unmotivated after getting verbally dunked on before the game makes you look like a deeply unserious basketball team.
Seriously, what did Adelman say to these guys before the game for them to come out so flat?
He can’t coach for shit. Like he needs to drill into Jokic’s head that unless he is wide the fuck open or there is <2 seconds on the shot clock he cannot shoot a 3. And nobody’s being motivated by that raccoon looking mf
Jokic basically is your offense so if he has an off night it’s gonna be rough. Meanwhile AG is the glue holding whatever defense y’all do have together, so again if he’s not there it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Still just far too dependent on two guys despite Murray finally getting an All-Star nod and trading MPJ for some depth
Joe Ingles was all of us
he even got my hairline
And my waistline
Hello, Redditors reading this comment thread. You want to do the Gimli quote. Don’t do it. It’s too obvious.
Honestly didn’t know he was still in the league lol remember when he was cooking tf outta dudes left and right?
As though I could ever forget my goat
There was a game this year where he played but didn’t step on the court.
Inbounds play that he subs in for. Throws the inbounds, player immediately fouled, and he just walks to his seat
So good
lmao thats gotta be a highlight
He was doing it a couple weeks ago. Step back 3s to finish the season with the end-of-bench squad.
Brah is great for morale and in the locker room. Apparently Nuggets dont have one of those rn
Now he’s cooking tf out of tenderloins but yeah that was a drastic shift just as quickly as the Jazz went to complete shit
With hate in his heart
And no regard for human life.
Or extraterrestrial if they meet up with the spurs later
And boom goes the dynamite.
Forever Kevin Harlan saying that in my head
This, AS the casters are talking about him backing up the talk…
CINEMA
Fr that is a lifetime clip right there put it in an AURA frame
was perfect timing
Gotta love a player who can talk that talk and back it up
Calling Jokic a traffic cone is offensive to traffic cones
Traffic cones are scarier to drive through
It is. With traffic cones, you hesitate and think a lil bit on which way to go for a split second. Against Jokic, you go at it immediately.
HOIST THE CONE! damn it’s a good year for traffic cones
traffic cones at least make you slow down and think about your decisions
That poster is going triple platinum in every basement, dorm room and office in the state of minnesota
TALK YOUR SHIT JADEN
your turn to talk about it on a podcast adelmen, looking for a job next year.
I’m gonna name my first father Jaden McDaniels
Been waiting all game for this
HE BACKED ALL THAT TALK UP
He is right, wtf is that defense
TALK YO SHIT SLIM
Talk your shit Jaden
Nuggets gonna be checking under their hotel beds for Jaden tonight
“All bad defenders”
Holy shit that audio could not have been better timed
I find it funny that every time the Wolves have a big play, they always cut to Joe Ingles celebrating.
He’s the ultimate hype man. Hope he decides to stick around after retirement. Him and Mike do so much off the court behind the scenes for this team.
He is getting paid $3.6 million for his vibes and to inbounds 10 times a year. Worth every penny.
man finessed the greatest heist in nba history. dude’s job description is literally “stand up, clap, sit down” and he’s making more per celebration than most people make in a month
He also gets to drop dimes to Joan in garbage time
Jokic does not like Jaden’s podcast
I am convinced that he’s the best 3rd best player on any team.
He’s been making a case to be our 2nd best guy this whole year.
Who’s #2 on the Wolves, Rudy or Randle? Whoever’s #4 there has to be the best 4th best player on any team too. Wolves kinda deep
There’s definitely tiers Tier 1: Ant Tier 2: Randle, Gobert and Jaden Tier 3: Donte, Naz, Ayo Tier 4: everyone else
Bones and TSJ Tier 3.5
Huge day for hatred and negativity
Talked all that shit naming them one at a time and nuggets came out looking like this lmao
Dragged his nuts all over them Nuggets.
log dog them lil nuggies
yeah he owns the Nuggets
Dude elevated and is elated
Jaden doesnt talk shit. Talking shit is emotional. He was stoically stating facts.
My hero ♥️
Add some names to that post game list
perfectly timed comments about him.
Wide open paint with no resistance sort of proves his point
GO AT THE BAD DEFENDERS
Yeah, basically just go wherever you like. Pretty good plan!
Happiest I have ever seen that man
Zero rim protection
THEY ALL BAD DEFENDERS
THEY ARE ALL BAD DEFENDERS
Let’s hear about that defensive rating now Adelman
This clip is just end to end perfect.
0:01 – He’s already getting his flowers, but it’s not enough
0:07 – Jaden already knows exactly what he’s going to do
0:09 – Jokic doesn’t get within 3 feet on the contest
0:12 – Nasty snarl from Jaden, Spencer Jones wants to go home
0:16 – Joe Ingles straight cheesing
0:22 – Ant in heaven
0:25 – Mindblown child
0:29 – Jaden fully reset and ready to kill again
That sent them to the bench
Fr what a sequence of events the past two days.
Jaden says they’re all bad defenders > Is proved correct the entire game > burns the D and yams on Jokic > game over
Notice how Jokic doesn’t even fully extend his arms to wall up lol
Jaden really standing on business
So soft. He watched it develop, wasn’t even involved and had time and opportunity to challenge and still didn’t.
That was a fucking double homicide
Yall got KD
We got Jaden McDaniels
Wanted all the smoke and backed it all the way the fuck up!
Nasty
Talking shit beforehand and dunking on them is savage
I like this podcast
And he went and sat down.
Treacherous.
It takes a lot to leave Kevin Harlan speechless but there was a good 15 seconds of dead air until they finally cut to break after this
They ain’t got any good defenders.
Jaden doesn’t speak a lot but when he does he tells nothing but TRUTHS
I love the commentators just went batshyt crazy and then shut up a couple of seconds after their reaction so we can hear the crowd. They were probably doing stank faces while muted.
The cut to Wade and Candace’s reaction when they came back from break was great. He got the whole building up with that.
Damn would like to see the clip.
“I said what I said.”
Woke up feeling treacherous
How fitting D-Wade was talking about Jaden’s comments about the defense and then Jaden goes out and does that against the same defense lmfao.
so he has no regards for human life?
Harlan letting the moment play out and go to commercial without saying anything is peak
dawg
Literal traffic cones 🤣
UNTOUCHABLE
I will die for Jaden
Holy shit. Darvin Ham would be proud. Going hard on them dudes
Salute 🫡 Be aggressive
absolutely filthy omg
He emptied their fucking bench, omg……
I looked away for a minute, heard the reaction to this, and turned back just in time for the immediate cut to commercial. Can’t believe they didn’t replay this.
Can someone make that edit of D’Angelo Russell being a traffic cone but with Jokic instead?
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Joe Ingles and I had the same reaction
Nuggets getting buttblasted
Nuggets deeply exposed how important AG is for them tonight. They are Swiss cheese without him out there. Jokic can’t jump over a phone book and their guards can’t contain real slashers. Denver better say a prayer over Gordon’s leg
TALK THAT SHIT JADEN
Spencer jones about to fire up a fire ass linkedin post about this tomorrow
“grateful for the opportunity to get postered on national television. adversity builds character. open to new opportunities 🙏 #NBAPlayoffs #Growth”
Running through them like a train in India
Shit gave me cold chills
Make ’em Say Ugh
Na nah na nah
The Fury
THEY’RE ALL BAD DEFENDERS
A scoop with two cones…
There’s beef and there’s Texas prime rib. This is the latter.
Wow he really said what he said
PODCAST CONTENT
Jaden definitely lost a few subscribers to his podcast tonight.
Oh yeah this is Wolves in five for sure
McDaniels showed up tonight and proved all his words true
Go wolves! keep the momentum! I’d love to see the french juggernauts of defense in the 2nd round!
People who will walk their talk:
McDaniel, Edwards, Gobert, Wemby
Spuds vs Wolves round 2 lets goo!!
“Tune into my podcast boy”
Statement dunk fr
Joe Ingles 😂
This team is so incredibly dogshit
Ingles face 😂
Damn!!!! I thought Spencer Jones was supposed to change lives in Denver…..
I AM YELLING
Nuggets defense fucking sucks 😆
Its over
All the bad defenders
I’m a nuggets season ticket holder and I can confirm, this series is over.
He’s mashing it.
Jaden is a psycho and I love it.
Federal Way’s GOAT, Jaden McDaggers
Damn the quotes are coming true lmao. Terrible defenders and We got Jaden McDaniels
I wasn’t mad when he talked his shit. I’m mad now that we proved him fuckin right
the five stages of grief but the first four are all “maybe jokic will contest this one” and the fifth is watching him stand there with his arms at his sides
jaden literally gave your entire team a scouting report on themselves and they still showed up unprepared. that’s like getting the answers to the test and still failing
